General Notes: Husband - Garret Covode

---

His real name is not known for when a mere child he was kidnapped in the streets of Amsterdam, Holland, by a sea-captain who brought him to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, gave him the name of "Garret Covode" and sold him into bondage. After serving a number of years in the capacity of a servant, part of the time as a domestic in the household of George Washington, he became a freeman.
